40005044ENG.qxd 31/05/2007 12:48 Page 5

Electrical requirements

Tumble dryers are supplied to operate at a voltage

of 220-230V, 60 Hz single phase. Check that the

supply circuit is rated to at least 10A.

Electricity can be extremely dangerous.

This appliance must be earthed.

The socket outlet and the plug on the appliance

must be of the same type.

Do not use multiple adapters and/or extension

leads.

The plug should be accessible for disconnection

after the appliance has been installed.

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in

accordance with the following codes:

Blue NEUTRAL

Brown LIVE

Green and Yellow EARTH

CE Appliance complies with European Directive

89/336/EEC, 73/23/EEC and subsequent amendments.

Adjusting the feet

Once the machine is in place the feet should be

adjusted to ensure that the machine is level.

6

You may be

charged for a

service call if a

problem with

your machine is

caused by

incorrect

installation.

If the mains cord

on this appliance

is damaged, it

must be replaced

by a special cord

which is ONLY

obtainable from

the GIAS spares

service. It must

be installed by a

competent

person.

Installation

Do not plug the machine in and switch

it on at the mains until the installation

is completed.

For your safety, this dryer must be

correctly installed.

If there is any doubt about installation,

call GIAS Service for advice.

40005044ENG.qxd 31/05/2007 12:48 Page 6

Adequate ventilation must be provided in the

room where the tumble dryer is located to

prevent gases from appliances burning other

fuels, including open fires, being drawn into the

room during operation of the tumble dryer.

● Exhaust air must not be discharged into a

flue which is used for exhausting fumes

from appliances burning gas or other fuels.

● Check regularly that the air flowing through

the dryer is not restricted.

● Check the fluff filter after use, and clean, if

necessary.

● The inlet and outlets should be kept free

from obstructions. To ensure adequate

ventilation the space between the bottom

of the machine and the floor must not be

obstructed. There should be a gap of at

least 12mm between the machine and any

obstructions.

● Prevent items from falling or collecting

behind the dryer as these may obstruct the

air inlet and outlet.

● NEVER install the dryer up against curtains.

Installation of the Discharge Hose

It is essential to use a venting hose to carry the

hot moist air away from the dryer unless the

dryer is situated in a open space with a good air

flow around it. Re-recirculation of the moist air

will prevent the efficient operation of the dryer.

The hose is assembled to the machine as shown

The hose may be fitted through a wall or

through an open door or window. The hose is

110mm in diameter and will extend 1.8 meters.

The following guidelines should be followed

when installing the discharge hose.

● Do not use two hoses joined together as the drying performance will be

reduced.

● Do not restrict the flow of air through the hose e.g. by kinking it or

7

Ventilation

40005044ENG.qxd 31/05/2007 12:48 Page 7

fitting a smaller diameter connector to mount to a wall opening.

● Avoid the hose making U shaped curves as this will restrict the flow of air

and increase the chance that water will collect in the hose.

● Check the hose regularly to remove any build-up of fluff or water that

may have collected in it.

The following diagrams give examples of good and bad installations.

Before using the tumble dryer for the first time:

● Please read this instruction book thoroughly.

● Remove all items packed inside drum.

● Wipe the inside of the drum and door with

a damp cloth to remove any dust which may

have settled in transit.

Clothes preparation

Make sure that the laundry you are going to dry

is suitable for drying in a tumble dryer, as shown

by the care symbols on each item.

Check that all fastenings are closed and that

pockets are empty. Turn the articles inside out.

Place clothes loosely in the drum to make sure

that they don't get tangled.

8

Preparing the load

Do not overload

the drum, large

items when wet

can exceed the

maximum

admissible

clothes load

(for example:

sleeping bags,

duvets).

40005044ENG.qxd 31/05/2007 12:48 Page 8

Maximum drying weight

● Cottons Max. 8 kg

● Synthetics Max. 4 kg

Sort the load as follows:

● By care symbols

These can be found on the collar or inside

seam:

Suitable for tumble drying.

Tumble drying at high temperature.

Tumble drying at low temperature only.

Do not tumble dry.

If the item does not have a care label it

must be assumed that it is not suitable

for tumble drying.

● By amount and thickness

Whenever the load is bigger than the dryer

capacity, separate clothes according to

thickness (e.g. towels from thin underwear).

● By type of fabric

Cottons/linen: Towels, cotton jersey, bed and

table linen.

Synthetics: Blouses, shirts, overalls, etc.

made of polyester or polyamid, as well as

for cotton/synthetic mixes.

● By drying level

Sort into: iron dry, cupboard dry, etc. For

delicate articles press the button to

select low drying temperature.

9

40005044ENG.qxd 31/05/2007 12:48 Page 9

Do not tumble dry:

Woollens, silk, delicate fabrics, nylon stockings,

delicate embroidery, fabrics with metallic

decorations, garments with PVC or leather

trimmings, training shoes, bulky items such as

sleeping bags, etc.

Energy saving

Only put into the tumble dryer laundry which has

been thoroughly wrung or spin-dried. The drier

the laundry the shorter the drying time thus

saving electricity.

ALWAYS

● Try to dry the maximum weight of laundry,

this will save time and electricity.

● Check that the filter is clean before every

drying cycle.

NEVER

● Exceed the maximum weight, this will waste

time and electricity.

● Put dripping wet items into the tumble

dryer, this may damage the appliance.

10

Drying advice

IMPORTANT: Do

not dry articles

which have been

treated with a

dry cleaning fluid

or rubber clothes

(danger of fire or

explosion).

During the last

15 minutes the

load is always

tumbled in

cool air.

Door and Filter

WARNING!

When the tumble dryer is in use the

drum and door may be VERY HOT.

Never stop a tumble dryer before

the end of the drying cycle unless

all items are quickly removed and

spread out so that the heat is

dissipated.

40005044ENG.qxd 31/05/2007 12:49 Page 12

Refer to the Drying guide table or the fabric

labels to select the most suitable programme.

● Open the door and load the drum with

laundry. Ensure that garments do not hinder

closure of the door.

● If drying delicate items press the button

to reduce the heat level. Press again on

completion, to select high temperature.

HIGH heat setting

LOW heat setting

● Turn the 'DRYING TIME' Selector until the

required drying time aligns with the dial.

● The programme provides a conditioning

and anti-crease function. The dryer will heat

the load for 8 minutes followed by a 2

minute cool down period and is especially

good for garments which may have been

left for some time prior to ironing, in a linen

basket for example. Garments may also

become stiffened when dried outside on a

washing line or inside on radiators. This

process relaxes the creases in the fabric

making ironing quicker and easier.

● Gently close the door pushing it slowly until

you hear the door 'click' shut.

● Press the button. The indicator will light

and the drying cycle begins.

● The load is dried by tumbling in

thermostatically controlled warm air. Cool

air is used for the last 15 minutes to

reduce creasing and cool the load ready for

handling.

● When the program is fully completed the

drum will stop rotating and the dial will

point to 0.

● Open the door and remove the load.

● Clean the filter after every drying cycle to

ensure maximum dryer efficiency.

13

Operation

WARNING!

The drum, door

and load may be

very hot.

40005044ENG.qxd 31/05/2007 12:49 Page 13

Cleaning the dryer

● Clean the filter after every drying cycle.

● After each period of use, wipe the inside of

the drum and leave the door open for a

while to allow circulation of air to dry it.

● Wipe the outside of the machine and the

door with a soft cloth.

● DO NOT use abrasive pads or cleaning

agents.

● To prevent the door sticking or the build up

of fluff periodically clean the inner door and

gasket with a damp cloth.
